Haha, why don't we just change the password to 'password123' and call it a day? That'll really keep those pesky students out. Seriously though, increasing the DHCP pool size seems like the way to go.

Increasing the DHCP pool size is a good temporary solution to accommodate the large number of devices trying to connect.

That's a good idea, limiting access to allowed MAC addresses would definitely help secure the network.

I agree with Lashon's suggestion. Limiting access to allowed MAC addresses is a smart way to keep the network secure while we work on a permanent solution. Plus, it's a simple and effective temporary measure.

Shortening the DHCP lease time could be a quick fix, but it might cause more problems down the line. We need a more robust solution to address the root cause of the issue.

Increasing the DHCP pool size is definitely the right move here. That way, the faculty can continue to access the network without any issues. Changing the password might help, but it's not a long-term solution.

I think option D) Shorten the DHCP lease time could also work to free up addresses faster for faculty use.

I agree with Norah, restricting access to only authorized devices can help prevent unauthorized connections.

Limiting access to allowed MAC addresses seems like a good temporary solution to secure the network. This way, we can prevent unauthorized devices from connecting until we can increase the DHCP pool size.
